The poets are coming

The Massachusetts Poetry Festival is coming to Salem and I can’t wait to meet Emily Dickinson. I hear she doesn’t get out much, so this should be a treat. Looking forward to connecting with Robert Frost too, if he takes the road more traveled by.

The event starts tonight with readings and continues tomorrow in the cafes, museum, and old colonial buildings all around town with a variety of workshops, forums, and poetry shenanigans. I’m bringing a pen so I can plagiarize all the good lines.
